Returning to Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park last week for the start of Spring Training 2.0 was exciting, GM Mike Rizzo acknowledged when he spoke to reporters on Day 1 of MLB’s second attempted ramp up for the 2020 MLB campaign.
“I was excited walking in,” Rizzo said, though he was greeted by a different environment in the Nats’ home park.
“It was a strange environment. Just a lot of protocols in place. You just can’t come in here with kind of a clear mind.
“You have to be thinking about what you’re trying to do to keep yourself safe, and look out for the other guys.
